Meath Ladies unchanged heading into All-Ireland SFC Quarter-Final Pairc Tailteann clash against Tipperary
Sunday July 6th: TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship Quarter-Final
Meath v Tipperary; Páirc Tailteann, Navan, 5.15pm – Live on TG4
Sunday’s tie will revive memories of a thrilling group game between the counties last year.
On that occasion, Meath did enough to repel a strong Tipperary challenge, eventually running out 2-15 to 2-12 winners in Navan.
The 2025 TG4 All-Ireland quarter-final between the counties has the potential to be similarly tight – and the stakes are high.
Meath lost out to eventual winners Kerry at the quarter-final stage in 2024, as Tipperary preserved Senior Championship status by defeating Laois in a relegation play-off.
Meath famously claimed back-to-back TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship successes in 2021 and 2022 – and the Royals would dearly love to relive those glory days. You have to go back to 1980, meanwhile, for the last of Tipperary’s three All-Ireland Senior title wins, when Cavan were defeated in the Final.
If Tipperary do win on Sunday, they’ll be through to an All-Ireland semi-final for the first time since 1980 – and that’s a huge incentive for the Premier County.
Meath come into this game having topped Group 3, with a draw against Armagh followed up by victory over Kildare, while Tipperary finished second behind Galway in Group 1, losing out to the Tribeswomen before securing knockout football with a crucial win against Donegal.
Meath are unchanged after battling past Kildare to earn a knockout slot, while Tipp make three changes to the side that overcame Donegal, with Issy Carr, Ava Ryan and Ava Fennessy coming in for Clara English, Nicole Shelly and Kirsty Crotty Ryan.
